“How can we all stand up for each other? Help each other more? Help each other thrive?...I believe that we're more resilient when we're building resilience together.” - Fatima Doman on being upstanders and becoming more resilient 

In this episode of The Upstander Ripple Effect, Fatima Doman joins the Center’s Director of External Strategic Engagement, Kara Driscoll, and explores the power of resilience and character strengths to shape how we respond to life's challenges and to be upstanders when it counts. 

Hear how resilience isn't just something we're born with—it can be developed intentionally. Drawing from her background in positive psychology and coaching, she shares how mindset matters when building our resilience, with such approaches as shifting from an "inner critic" to an "inner coach." 

Fatima highlights how bravery, kindness, and spirituality are closely linked to resilience and how these strengths can empower us to be upstanders. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build resilience and activate their strengths to make a meaningful impact!
